I initially thought the choice of material was strange, since it makes Gloom look all furry, and I was expecting Gloom to have a smooth texture, like an actual plant. But the more I look at it, the more endearing it becomes - it makes me want to reach out and hug this poor thing (and wipe away that realistic drool). The proportions are just right on this one, and I love how its expression is all -_-. Amazing work!
